Mecum Pontiac Super Duty's

[Paul D]

the '63 SD Catalina post car went for $285 plus. It had all the aluminum pieces plus numerous "one off" items that Pontiac sent to some of the big name racers. Items like stamped stainless steel headers, aluminum rear end pumpkin, etc. Randy Williams searched out all these "unobtainium parts" over a 20 year period and had them installed on this car.

421 Super Duty engine was factory rated at either 405hp or 410hp (13:1 compression). Two fours, mechanical cam, dual points, aluminum exhaust headers were part of the deal.

you've got to love that '62 SD Catalina. When they drove them up on the podium, all the cars had there headers "uncorked". Yeah, the sound was deafening as all five were driven into the auction room at the same time!

Oh, and the whole package of five cars was initially bid as a group. It went up to about $1,650,000. but didn't meet reserve, so then each one went over individually.

Here's Scott Teimann (sp) getting a little emotional as they past $1,550,000. Scott did the restorations on all the cars with the exception of the '61 Catalina.
